Re: NHRA to allow any accepted engine/body combination in Pr
[QUOTE=Mike Jones;551118]I wonder how Charlie Westcott feels about the change...
Hope it doesn't hurt his program. What program? As the old saying goes, "If he coulda, he woulda". |

Re: NHRA to allow any accepted engine/body combination in Pr
NHRA already has the “real solution” in mind...and don’t think it includes PS. And Westcott is fully capable of doing anything given the time and $ he can devote to it.

Re: NHRA to allow any accepted engine/body combination in Pr
As noted in the release, this move was suggested/endorsed by the Pro Stock team owners. It was also done with the blessing of all three US manufacturers.
Will it fix the underlying issues with Pro Stock? Hard to say at this point but I think most would agree that doing nothing isn't an option. Also, my personal opinion is that the sky is the limit for Factory Stock racing but I think it's important to manage the growth so it doesn't get completely out of hand. I think the current (2018) format shows a lot of promise with 7 events and stand alone eliminations. My 2cents |

So you drank the Kool aide... LOL... Come on, seriously?... FS will NEVER replace PS. Except for EFI all the technology came from PS. Heads, Manifold, pistons ring combos etc.. The timing of changes in PS was not good with the FS cars coming out. How many Teams walked when the 2015/16 changes took place? I think the same thing will happen again. The sky is not falling....

I thank you Scott. I can appreciate that and I agree a lot has changed and its hard to identify with the new cars. I was there is the 70's, 80's, 90's, 2K and beyond. I was/ am fortunate to be involved with some great teams and cars. It is hard for me to accept the new FS cars into stock eliminator let alone the New PS class.... Nothing is stock about them but here they are.. Another thread.... I still love Pro Stock, Comp, Stock and Super Stock. I hope to see you at Pomona. Probably in Top Sportsman with my partner Jeff but not in the stocker. Closing a deal today on new property so time and money..., not allowing both... Happy Holidays BP
